Gear Review
One of my favorite purchases

I hate getting dehydrated on longer runs and I hate carrying a water bottle. I tried a traditional hydration pack that goes over your shoulders and couldn't stand the bouncing. This is perfect. It doesn't bounce and it carries just the right amount of water to last me about 1-2 hours on the trail. If I try to wear this on my hips, then it does bounce a bit as it tries to migrate to the most slender part of my torso. I find it best to just place it a bit higher and then it stays put really well.
